SOCIETY

Italy’s prison crisis Laura Clarke

n 10 March 31-year-old Angelo Russo hung himself in his cell at Poggioreale prison in Naples. A schizophrenic, he had been arrested just two weeks previously on suspicion of raping a 19-year-old girl at a psychiatric hospital in Pozzuoli. His death took to 14 the number of suicides in Italy’s jails since the start of 2010 according to the Osservatorio Permanente sulle Morti in Carcere. By 15 April this figure had risen to 18, while the number of deaths from illness or unknown circumstances stood at 40. Around the same time prison guards in Lazio and Piemonte took the unusual step of going on hunger strike in protest over the situation. Suicides in Italian prisons are nothing new (see box). However in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of detainees who have taken their own life, from 45 in 2007 to a record 72 in 2009. This translates into a suicide rate among prisoners that is around 20 times higher than that for the general population. Further, these figures represent only the tip of the iceberg as they do not include attempted suicides (860 in 2009 according to the Osservatorio sulle Morti in Carcere) or incidents of self-harm (4,928 in 2008).

The problem is compounded by an insufficient number of prison wardens (with around 40,000 in active service Italy actually has one of the largest prison police corps in Europe, but many officers are engaged in administrative or teaching duties), educators and social workers, poor health care and inadequate support for vulnerable detainees such as the mentally ill and drug addicts, who represent respectively around ten per cent and 30 per cent of the total prison population according to a recent study carried out by the Società Italiana di Medicina e Sanità Penitenziaria (SIMSPE). The increase in the number of detainees can be attributed to several factors including a recent change in the cultural and political climate in Italy, with greater emphasis placed on law enforcement and public safety. This has led to more arrests and an increase in the number of people held in custody as well as to a reduction in the application of penalties such as house arrest or community service as an alternative to prison for convicted criminals. However contrary to public perception, the number of reported crimes actually dropped by just over eight per cent between 2007 and 2008, from three million to 2.7 million according to ministry of the interior figures.

Penal institutions in Italy are overflowing and prisoners’ rights groups say government reform plans do not go far enough

Prisoners’ rights groups point the finger at deteriorating conditions of detention due to overcrowding. On 31 March 2010 Italy’s prison population stood at 67,206 according to the justice ministry’s department of penitentiary administration (DAP) – a rise of over 72 per cent since 1 January 2007 when, after the collective pardon, or indulto, approved by parliament in 2006, there were 39,005 inmates in the country’s jails. The number is well in excess of the regulatory capacity of 44,236, and even of the so-called “tolerated” capacity of 66,979. The result is that in some penal institutions detainees spend up to 22 hours a day in crowded cells, often far from their place of origin and therefore from the possibility of receiving regular visits from family and friends and with few opportunities for recreational or rehabilitative activities, in violation of article three of the European Convention on Human Rights that “no one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”. 2

According to the DAP, on 31 March this year 29,857 detainees, or over 44 per cent of the total, were awaiting trial. Statistics suggest that of these, around 40 per cent will subsequently be found innocent. The use of pre-trial detentions is particularly common when the presumed offender is nonItalian or suspected of a drug-related crime because these categories are seen as being less integrated into society and so are more difficult to monitor. DAP figures show that on 5 April 2010 there were 24,910 foreigners in Italian jails – or just over 37 per cent of the total – of whom 52 per cent were awaiting trial. This compares with 40 per cent for Italian detainees. On 31 December 2008 – the most recent date for which figures are available – the majority of foreign detainees came from Morocco, followed by Romania, Albania, Tunisia, Algeria and Nigeria. Now that entering or staying in Italy without a permit of stay has become a criminal rather than an administrative offence under anti-immigration legislation introduced in 2009, the number of foreigners in the country’s jails is only set to rise. 28 April 2010

In January the government declared a state of emergency in the country’s penal institutions and presented plans to address the situation. These include creating 21,000 new places for detainees by the end of 2012 by building new prisons and expanding existing ones; employing 2,000 additional prison guards; introducing the possibility for certain categories of offenders with only a year still to serve to complete their sentence under house arrest; and introducing probation for detainees charged with crimes carrying a sentence of up to three years, during which time they would carry out socially useful work in exchange for the suspension of their trial. The last two provisions are contained in a bill that is currently before parliament. Meanwhile in mid-March the prime minister’s office issued an ordinance giving special powers to the head of the DAP, Franco Ionta – known as “the Bertolaso of prisons” after the powerful head of the civil protection department, Guido Bertolaso – to manage the prison construction and expansion scheme, details of which are to be presented by the end of April. The provisions have been met with enthusiasm by magistrates and labour unions representing prison wardens but they have been criticised by prisoners’ rights groups and some parts of the opposition, who warn that the declaration of a state of emergency could lead to an abuse of power by the government without due public and legislative control. Ornella Favero, director of Ristretti Orizzonti, an on-line magazine and documentation centre based at the prison in Padua, told La Repubblica newspaper in January that, rather than building new prisons, the government should concentrate on restructuring old ones. Eighty per cent of the 206 prison buildings in use in Italy are over 100 years old; Rome’s Regina Coeli in Trastevere, for example, dates to the mid-17th century and originally served as a convent before being converted into a prison in 1881. Other prisons, such as Arghillà in Reggio Calabria, are finished but stand empty, in this particular case due to problems with building an access road. In January opposition parties presented their own proposals in the form of a series of parliamentary motions calling on the government to tackle the problem of overcrowding by reducing pre-trial detentions and increasing the use of alternative measures of punishment among other things. However in its 2009 report on the situation in Italian prisons the prisoners’ rights association Antigone identifies a handful of penal institutions that buck the trend: Bollate in Milan, Padua, Lorusso and Cotugno in Turin, the new Rebibbia prison in Rome and the Giudecca women’s prison in Venice. These so-called “liveable” prisons offer a series of opportunities and activities aimed at rehabilitating prisoners, including special work programmes, formal education, professional training, creative workshops, more recreation time and innovative treatment for sex offenders and detainees with psychological problems. In such structures the re-offending rate for prisoners within five years of being released is around 30 per cent compared with 60 to 70 per cent at prisons not offering such opportunities, while the suicide rate among detainees is three times lower.

Prison suicide statistics In the period 1960-1969 Italy had an average prison population of 32,754 and a suicide rate of 3.01 per 10,000 detainees and an attempted suicide rate of 9.24 per 10,000 detainees, according to the Osservatorio Permanente sulle Morti in Carcere. In the period 2000-2009 the average prison population had risen to 53,988 and the rate of suicide and attempted suicide to 10.32 and 142.94 per 10,000 detainees respectively. According to the annual penal statistics of the Council of Europe, in 2007 – the most recent year for which comparative figures are available – Italy had a prison suicide rate of 9.9 per 10,000 detainees. This compared favourably with Iceland, which topped the list with 87 suicides per 10,000 detainees, Luxembourg (26.9 suicides per 10,000 detainees), Slovenia (22.5 suicides per 10,000 detainees), Denmark (22.1 suicides per 10,000 detainees) and even France (14.6 suicides per 10,000 detainees) and the United Kingdom (12.9 suicides per 10,000 detainees). However Italy lagged well behind several countries including Poland (4.5 suicides per 10,000 detainees) and Romania (3.8 suicides per 10,000 detainees). For more information see www.ristretti.it.

ART

Edward Hopper Seven A.M. Edith Schloss

ust out of art school, growing up in the New York art world in the late 1940s, you took the Hopper paintings down at the Whitney Museum on 8th Street with a grain of salt. Their white New England spareness, their stony wastes of city houses, their girdered grey bridges, the inhibited people sitting on beds in lonely rooms or leaning in dark brown interiors, the no-nonsense contrasts between harsh eastern seaboard light and thick indoor shade, were plainspoken, bold but conventional Americana. Yet sometimes you were arrested by an odd undertow which made you retrace your steps to take a second look and wonder. But Hopper and his pals were passé after all. We took them for granted, we were too busy with something quite different and rich – a bright new adventure, the search for abstraction.

Edward Hopper Seven A.M. Cont. from page 5.

Visitors who love and hate America, but who can never fathom it, see him as a perpetual American symbol. But beyond his blunt self-willed academicism his eery quietness speaks to us all. It haunts and taunts and beguiles us and will not let us go. The vast, ambitious and quite instructive exhibition, coming from Milan and Lugano, is a package show. Though very articulated – for instance there is a section on Hopper’s Erotic Art, which is a bit off, because eroticism is not his province – it is an interior designer’s conceit. It does little to honour the painter’s purpose by regimenting viewers into a strict itinerary; you cannot walk freely and retrace your steps to study an interesting painting once more. It also offers a huge set-up in the round of one of his oils, Nighthawks, complete with counters and papier maché dummies that may entertain some but are silly. As silly as the posters of this diner picture, with the faces of the mannikins printed with the likeness of Jimmy Dean and Marilyn Monroe, already a cliché in the United States. Thanks a lot, Hopper’s enhancing work can speak for itself. Edward Hopper e il suo tempo. Fondazione Roma Museo, Via del Corso 320, tel. 066786209. Until 13 June. PRIVATE PARTIES/STEWARDS.

e x h i b i t i o n s Rome Si Canta Maggio. 1 May. After last year’s successful event, the Auditorium Parco della Musica once again welcomes about 100 artists from all regions of Italy to celebrate International Labour Day. Spaces inside and outside the Auditorium are open to the public from morning to night with a myriad of concerts and initiatives that pay tribute to labour songs, songs of dissent, songs of struggle, protest songs, liberation songs, workers’ songs, industrial folk songs, environmental songs, songs of equality and peace songs. The first part of the day takes place in the gardens and in the open-air cavea, which hosts stands and stalls selling goods and crafts, as well as performances of traditional folk dances and songs. The second part – from 18.00 – features the Orchestra Popolare Italiana dell’Auditorium Parco della Musica conducted by Ambrogio Sparagna with various guest artists. Auditorium Parco della Musica, Viale P. de Coubertin, tel. 0680241281, www.auditorium.com.

Assisi I colori di Giotto. 11 April-5 Sept. The city of Assisi and the Franciscan Community are promoting a special exhibition dedicated to Giotto’s frescoes in the basilica of St Francis to celebrate 800 years from the foundation of the Franciscan order. Some frescoes, especially those in the vault of the basilica, were damaged almost beyond repair by the 1997 earthquake but others have been beautifully restored thanks to painstaking work by dedicated teams of Italian experts. It is possible to follow the restoration work and also to see little-known aspects of Giotto’s art, as well as the frescoes as they originally appeared. Various locations throughout Assisi.

Alarmél Valli. 6, 7 May. In The Forgotten Seed, for the Festival del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. In line with this year’s “oriental” theme, the Florentine festival’s dance section is inaugurated by the internationally acclaimed Bharatanatyam dancer and choreographer Alarmél Valli. Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form originating in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is usually accompanied by classical Tamil music and is inspired by the sculptures of the ancient temple of Chidambaram. The name is a combination of BHA- Bhava (Expression), RA- Raga (Music) and TA- Tala (Rhythm). The programme describes The Forgotten Seed as an attempt to recall a dismembered harmony, a fractured unity, between the sensual and the sacred, the natural and the divine, the prosaic and the poetic.

Rome Montemartini Blue Note. 9 April-5 June. The extraordinary industrial-archaeological spaces that make up the former Montemartini thermoelectric power station – today a modern museum that hosts precious archaeological remains side-byside with original electricity-producing machinery – set the stage for a brand new jazz festival in Rome.

Cremona Festival di Cremona Claudio Monteverdi. 7-26 May. Lovers of baroque music and above all fans of the 17thcentury composer Claudio Monteverdi flock to his birthplace every year for this festival’s promising programme of new versions of his work and illustrious ensembles and musicians. This year the programme celebrates the fifth centenary of the publication of Monteverdi’s masterpiece, the

Vespers of 1610, the main theme of the programme. Another focus this year is the third centenary of the birth of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, as well as a tribute to Alessandro Scarlatti 350 years after his birth. Big names include Alan Curtis, Ton Koopman, Antonio Florio, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Helmuth Rilling, the Tallis Scholars and The Hilliard Ensemble.

Florence Festival del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. 29 April-2 July. Richard Strauss’s Die Frau Ohne Schatten inaugurates the 73rd edition of the festival. This year’s theme is “Towards the East”, with a multiethnic programme that touches on Mozart and runs through to contemporary productions and concerts. In fact, Strauss’s Woman without a shadow, on a libretto by Hoffmansthal, is based on Indian, Arab and Chinese legends, just as Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail concerns the attempt of the hero Belmonte, assisted by his servant Pedrillo, to rescue his beloved Konstanze from the harem of the Turkish Pasha Selim. The other opera to look out for is the contemporary Natura Viva by Marco Betta. Zubin Mehta this year celebrates 25 years as the Maggio Musicale’s principal conductor and director, and features in many of the productions and concerts. Big names to book for in advance include those of pianist Rudolf Buchbinder, musician and conductor Daniel Barenboim, young Palestinian pianist Saleem Abboud-Ashkar, Chinese conductor Long Yu, violinist Sergey Khachatryan, conductor Christopher Hogwood and Gidon Kremer at the head of his Kremerata Baltica. Dance features with a performance by the Ballet National de Marseille in Frédéric Flamand’s new creation, La vérité 25x par seconde, with sets and costumes designed by Chinese artist and designer Ai Weiwei, The Forgotten Seed by and with Indian Bharatanatyam dancer Alarmél Valli, and of course the traditional end-of-festival ballet gala by the resident Compagnia MaggioDanza.

This performance, under the supervision of Chinese choreographer Shen Wei, is the result of a seven-week dance project in Italy that explored Shen Wei Dance Arts movement concepts and qualities. Mycelial Sketches visits the underground world of the earth’s mushroom networks, celebrating the beauty of decomposition and paying homage to their life-sustaining work.

Genoa Eifman Ballet of St Petersburg. 12-16 May. In Anna Karenina, choreography by Boris Eifman. Eifman translates emotion into motion, moving his dancers boldly and, like Martha Graham, has the theatrical instinct to know when the soul-searching duets and trios need a change of pace. Scenes of Anna, her husband Karenin and her lover Vronsky, who wrestle their emotions and each other, alternate with elegant, rowdy or gaudy ensemble sections, like the opening party where Anna meets Vronsky amidst a swirling sea of waltzing couples.

International Dance Day. 29 April. Pupils of the ballet school of the Teatro alla Scala and of the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Arts celebrate this yearly commemoration that goes back to 1982. 29 April was chosen because it is the anniversary of the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), an innovative choreographer who is widely considered the creator of modern ballet.

Opera Notes Die Frau ohne Schatten opens this year’s Maggio Musicale festival in Florence. It is a difficult work, which Zubin Metha will be conducting for the first time. The Bologna opera theatre on the other hand presents Carmen by Bizet, directed here by Andreys Îagars from the Riga Opera Theatre in his Italian debut. Al Teatro Comunale di Firenze prende il via il 73° Maggio Musicale con Die Frau ohne Schatten di Richard Strauss (29 aprile-8 maggio); sarà diretta da Zubin Mehta, che l’affronta per la prima volta nella sua lunga carriera, e sarà messa in scena da Yannis Kokkos, che è alla sua prima regia per il Festival Fiorentino e curerà anche le scene e i costumi. Gli interpreti principali saranno i soprano Adrianne Pieczonka e Elena Pankratova, il mezzosoprano Lioba Braun, il tenore Torsten Kerl e il baritono Albert Dohmen. Die frau ohne schatten è un’opera di difficile esecuzione scenica e musicale e di complessa e simbolica interpretazione, perché è composta di tanti tasselli da leggersi tutti insieme come un unico percorso iniziatico che porta alla redenzione attraverso il duro e faticoso vivere umano. È il lavoro più ambizioso di Strauss ma anche il più riuscito e fa affidamento su un libretto di Hugo von Hofmannsthal che s’ispira a leggende indiane, arabe e cinesi. Tra le opere è senza dubbio la più appropriata per inaugurare questa edizione del Maggio Musicale, che è intitolata “Verso Oriente” ed è dedicata all’esotico in musica, che prevede come titoli successivi a quello di Strauss anche la celebre e classica “opera turca” Die entführung aus dem Serail di Mozart (14-21 maggio) e Natura Viva, la nuova composizione di Marco Betta (15 e 17 giugno), commissionata apposta dal festival e che parla in chiave simbolica e astratta dell’incontro tra Oriente e Occidente.

On the agenda British passport regulations The British consulate in Paris now handles all the passport renewal and application requests from British nationals in Italy. In this email correspondence the British ambassador to the Quirinale, Edward Chaplin, describes how the system works and how long it takes to process a passport and suggests that it is best to apply at off-peak periods. Wanted in Rome: How did the passport system work before, and how has it changed? The British ambassador: In June 2009 the passport service for British nationals in Italy moved from the British embassy in Rome to the Western European Passport Service, based at the British consulate in Paris. We managed the merger very carefully to ensure that service levels remained high, and were reassured by the results of a questionnaire distributed to our customers throughout Italy, which recorded a satisfaction level of 80 per cent. Following the change, we no longer accept applications for full passports in Rome. Applications should be made directly to Paris, following the guidance on the British embassy in Italy website: http://UKinItaly.fco.gov.uk under the “Help for British Nationals/Passports” pages. Applicants can still call into the Rome embassy or one of our consulates in Italy (Naples, Florence, Milan and Venice) to pick up an application pack for a passport. The Rome embassy and our consulates in Italy will continue to provide consular assistance and the full range of other services to British nationals, including the issue of emergency travel documents.

Race for the Cure Over 40,000 people are expected to participate in this year’s Komen Italia Race for the Cure on 16 May in Rome to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. If you’d like to take part you can register online at www.komen.it. The five-kilometre race is a family event and everyone is encouraged to take part regardless of how fast they can run – or walk! The foundation is also looking for volunteers, so if anyone has any free time to spare they should email volontari@komen.it. The course for the race starts at the Terme di Caracalla and passes through Piazza Venezia and past the Colosseum before ending at the start point. For more information tel. 063540551. Entry is ?10, which can be paid online or at the race village at Stadio delle Terme di Caracalla on the 14 and 15 May, between 10.00 and 18.00 or on 16 May before 09.00.

Wanted in Rome: What is the difference between issuing or renewing a passport? The British ambassador: The main difference is that if you are applying for a new passport you should simply send the form, full supporting documents and the fee in euro by post or courier to the British Consulate General, 16 rue d’Anjou, 75008 Paris, France. If you are renewing a passport, you should also enclose your current British passport with the application.

The airline has also announced that it is to go ahead with plans to charge passengers €1 to use the toilet and that it will reduce the number of toilets on planes to make way for more seats.
